If it is not matching your expectation, it is probably doing it better!
What do you like best about the product?
The version management is amazing and has been a life-saver a few times.
Being able to share the models with our clients has been an impactful factor in winning jobs.
The Onshape team has been very consistent in releasing relevant and useful updates and features, which is much appreciated.

What do you dislike about the product?
The upcoming CAM function was promoted last year, with discussions on its release on March 2023. There hasn't been any updates ever since. As much as this could improve our manufacturing pipeline, not having it can have a negative impact. My expectation is to at least get a clear, updated schedule; so I can decide whether to get additional CAMWorks licenses or not.
Additionally, I like to see more support and documentation on connecting Onshape with the ERP systems, or using the API as it can greately affect our productivity.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everyone has access to the drawings, regardless of their location and device. The view-only interface is enough for people without any CAD knowledge to use.
Kudos to Onshape!
What do you like best about the product?
Due to its agile product design approach , we are able to build products faster and run design sprints on hardware products flawlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really nothing. It's the best Cad software for conceptual and engineering design.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves any team collaboration problem.
Onshape has created CAD platform that has irreversibly transformed my workflow as an engineer.
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape has revolutionized the way CAD and PLM/PDM systems integrate with my engineering workflow. They have made an incredibly powerful and easy-to-use platform.
I don’t waste any time with file management, checking out licenses, or convincing IT to buy a more powerful computer. I just jump onto my browser and start designing.
Here are some features that Onshape provides that have changed my workflow the most:
- Versions and History Tree (ability to compare, rollback, or branch from any point in the history of the document with an intuitive search interface)
- Fully customizable parametric configurations for variables, part/assembly features and properties, and view states
- All the features and tools you would expect from other professional CAD systems
- Easy to use sheet metal design tools and libraries for hardware, extruded framing, etc.
- Easy and customizable release management workflow
- Continuous (every 3 weeks) updates based on user feedback without interrupting workflow
- Seamless integration with third-party software packages
- Great training resources and powerful feature scripts (free feature addons) for things like gear train generation, wiring, cosmetic threads, etc.
- Powerful collaboration, sharing, and commenting between users and non-users (like vendors)

What do you dislike about the product?
I have used both Solidworks and Creo Parametric in a professional setting for most of my career. When I was initially introduced to Onshape I was skeptical about a web-based CAD platform, but this ended up being one of the most useful aspects of Onshape. It has opened the doors to productivity on any computer and saves a ton of time with onboarding new engineers since it doesn't require any software installation or local license management servers. I rarely find myself without internet these days since virtually all of my professional workflows (e-mail, google docs/sheets, google drive, etc.) require internet access.
Depending on how long you have used other CAD platforms, Onshape has a bit of a learning curve; however, this is efficiently mitigated by their great training resources. The more I used Onshape, the more other CAD platforms seem clunky and inefficient.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape allows me to focus on design work without having to spend time on file management, slow interfaces to PLM/PDM packages, or my computer's performance. They also provide a powerful and easy-to-use interface for managing prototypes and released parts/assemblies.
A very stable platform for professional work! The 3 weekly updates are great .
What do you like best about the product?
No crashes like in SW!
No need to save!
No need to save!
What do you dislike about the product?
When the internet is down one cannot work
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration benifits
Revolutionary
What do you like best about the product?
Being cloud-based and focusing on ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
A few features found in older CAD apps aren't present.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborative design of all of our hardware components.
Cloud-based parametric CAD
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud-based parametric CAD. You can log in, create and review your drawings anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
More bandwidth is required for bigger assemblies. Perhaps an option to use hybrid CADto download the files locally like a mirror/cache for large assemblies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape has plenty of room to grow and every release update has some improvements in work flow improving productivity.
Onshape is the Future of CAD and Collaborative Design
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, things are laid out well. It's powerful yet very flexible due to being cloud-based. This does a variety of different projects very well. I love it
What do you dislike about the product?
I would really like more user customization for settings and different modes. There isn't much in terms of options. A dark mode would be nice as well as a more intuitive home page layout.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborative design is a big thing for me and my team. There isn't much in terms of competition in this area. If we couldn't simultaneously work on a design we would radically have to reduce operations.
The best mechanical CAD experience I've had to date
What do you like best about the product?
Their versioning system is second to none, being able to go back through each every single change you've made to a part is a game changer.
Also getting out of the paradigm of individual part and assembly files is huge – it makes working with CAD much less of a chore. Onshape is the first CAD experience that doesn't feel like it's stuck in the 90s.
Also opening up the software to see you've got a free update with several incredibly strong quality of life improvements automatically applied and ready to go is incredible.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some features present in other systems that aren't present in Onshape. I would greatly appreciate a way to import your own standard fastener library for example.
Also, I've found that at times the code underpinning their standard features is not as robust as Solidworks. For example there are instances where I'm unable to create a loft or do a shell command that I succeeded in doing with Solidworks on identical geometry.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration across disciplins, tracking changes, working with non-engineering folks, and the being platform agnostic.
Cloud based CAD probably based in Heaven
What do you like best about the product?
The clean user interface, the intuitive user experience, the mate system. The system is growing every month new features new products within the cloud based system. Most of what you lose from switching something like solidworks to other cad programs doesnt happen when you switch to Onshape. It felt like moving over to a newer better CAD and I've been happy with the product ever since I moved. There's lots for me to learn from this programme but I am happy to move forward here.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of new features like rendering are still in development and its not as easy to navigate as the rest of onshape or the competitors but the fact you can render an image in seconds is very impressive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to share models with anyone anywhere is outstanding, the fact you export to almost any file type is incredible. The ability to make drawings extremely quickly is a huge plus. A simple but powerful tool
Onshape's technical review
What do you like best about the product?
My background is SolidWorks and for me it was the most straightforward CAD program to use... before I met Onshape. You've created an incredibly intuitive software that can almost read my mind in certain aspects.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest there are no dislikes per se. Here and there are points to be enhanced, but I understand it's a work in progress and I'm grateful you are so open to suggestions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing documents and instant updates are two of the greatest features Onshape has. It becomes really easy to discuss parts and assemblies configurations through those tools internally and also with our customers.
